[PATCH 16/45] inotify: add do_inotify_init() helper; remove in-kernel call to syscall

[Dominik Brodowski]

Using the inotify-internal do_inotify_init() helper allows us to get rid
of the in-kernel call to sys_inotify_init1() syscall.

This patch is part of a series which tries to remove in-kernel calls to
syscalls. On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined.
